Patch to fix perl filename completion none

Description Jim Radford 2007-09-21 01:36:34 UTC 
Type this

  perl /etc/bash_com<tab>

and it completes.  Then type

  perl /etc/bash_completion /etc/bash_com<tab>

and it doesn't complete.   Essentially the completion only looks for options
after the first argument.  With the attached patch[1] it will complete filenames
as well as options after the first argument!  Without this patch perl completion
is essentially useless.  The default bash completion would be better.
